I really enjoyed this book! Though it did take me quite a while to get into it. I believe it was around page 130 that I realized I was finally hooked.

I was nervous about Celaena's two love interests- thinking that it would be overdone and cheesy. But I was relieved that she really held her own and didn't get sidetracked from her mission.

My biggest complaints about this book were #1- the super short chapters. #2- the lack of set up.

The story just started with a bang and didn't really explain the world or where the characters had come from. Even though you do learn more as the story goes on, I wish there had been more at the very beginning.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book.

Favorite line:

"Courage of the heart is very rare...let it guide you."
